Application Status and Development Trends of Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Digital Economy

Abstract

As the core technology of the digital economy, artificial intelligence (AI) is profoundly changing the development model of the global economy. In the field of digital economy, AI has demonstrated enormous application potential in intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, fintech, and other aspects. By optimizing production processes, improving urban management efficiency, and innovating financial services, it has significantly promoted the quality and efficiency improvement of the digital economy. However, the widespread application of AI also faces challenges such as data security and privacy protection, technological barriers and unbalanced regional development, ethical risks, and regulatory lag. To address these challenges, it is necessary to establish a data governance system, promote technological inclusion and collaborative innovation, and improve ethical and dynamic regulatory mechanisms. In the future, AI will be deeply integrated with technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain. Privacy computing and data governance technologies will be widely applied to drive cross-industry collaborative innovation and intelligent upgrading of the entire industrial chain. Meanwhile, technological inclusion and green and sustainable development will proceed in parallel, helping to narrow the "digital divide" and empower the "dual carbon goals".
